Comparison During Two Different Situations of Jump shot in Basketball

By Joël Malaval

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between successful Jump shot in

Basketball with and without an opponent on selected Electromyographical and Kinematic

variables. This study investigates the influence of an opponent's presence on the jump shot

technique. For the study, ten male athletes aged between 17-25 years were randomly selected

as subjects from Basketball that represented Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical

Education Gwalior in an Inter-University competition. The participants were filmed as they

executed the jump shot in basketball at the execution phase. To ensure the same condition for

all the participants the same distance from the basket, all the subjects of the study were righthanded.

The variables selected for this study were Linear kinematic variables (Height of ball

release at the moment execution phase, Distance of ball travelled, The instant velocity of ball

release, Centre of gravity (CG)), Angular kinematic variables (The Angle of the Ankle joint

(right), The Angle of the Knee joint (right), The Angle of the Pelvis joint (right), The Angle of

the Shoulder joint (right), The Angle of the Elbow joint (right), The Angle of the wrist joint

(right), The Angle of release), Surface electromyographical variables (Anterior Deltoid,

Posterior Deltoid, Biceps Brachii, Triceps Brachii, Flexor Carpi Radialis, Extensor Carpi

Radialis, Brachioradialis). The collected scores on each selected variables of successful jump

shots with and without opponents the statistical analysis was done with the help of SPSS,

Descriptive statistics and paired 't-tests were applied to compare the kinematic and

electromyographical variables.
